About Michael

I have prepared myself to be an aggressive and dedicated criminal defense attorney since before law school. Before attending college, I followed my father and his father by joining the military and enlisted in the Army. After serving my country, I attended Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas, graduating Summa Cum Laude and double majoring in English and Political Science. I then attended the Texas Tech School of Law on a full scholarship. While in law school, I received the American Jurisprudence Award which recognizes outstanding scholastic achievement in both Immigration Law and Public Health Law. In May of 2006, I graduated from law school with honors.


Shortly after opening my own practice in Lubbock with a focus on criminal defense, I accepted a position with the Federal Public Defender for the Northern District of Texas. From 2007 until 2013, I practiced exclusively in federal court representing clients charged with federal offenses ranging from theft of mail to multi-million dollar, white-collar fraud investigations. I have successfully represented clients in every aspect of a criminal case including detention hearings, probation and supervised release revocations, and trials. I have tried cases and won throughout the Northern and Western Districts of Texas which includes Amarillo, Lubbock, San Angelo, Abilene, Midland, Odessa, and Pecos and I regularly practice in front of Judges Robinson, Cummings, Solis, and Junell. These trials have covered immigration, firearm, drug, fraud, and sex offenses.


I have now opened King Law, P.C. The purpose of this firm is to provide aggressive, dedicated, and passionate criminal defense. Defending citizens charged with crimes is what I do and is who I am. If you or a loved one is facing a criminal investigation or has been charged with a crime, the most important asset you can have on your side is a criminal defense attorney dedicated to your defense and your Constitutional rights.

We asked Michael to help us with our son’s case. From the first impression to the final result Michael showed the outmost professionalism and competence. He was assisting us at every step of the way to achieving the best possible outcome. He went it of the way to help and provide priceless advise. Not only was he helpful regarding court case but also overall well-being of our son. We are so grateful for what he has done for our family! I highly recommend his services!

In 2017, I contacted Michael King with King Law to represent us with respect to a difficult family matter. We knew that we needed to find an skilled, seasoned and knowledgeable defense attorney; but we also recognized that we needed a lawyer who would be practical, caring, willing and able to listen, and be fully capable of developing and refining a winning strategy. We were blessed to find Michael. Michael helped us understand all of our options and we were able to obtain the outcome we desired. Michael exceeded our expectations with enormous care, great compassion, outstanding skill, and went the extra mile for us. Thank you for all your help, Michael!

Excellent Attorney and Caring Person

Posted by

Michael King represented my son in multiple cases during the past 2+ years, including DWI (his second one), Possession of Marijuana < 2 oz, Public Intoxication, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and Theft < $100. My son has serious substance abuse issues, and Michael worked hard for the best outcome in each case. I was very pleased that all charges except the marijuana were dismissed – fortunate, given the number of offenses and the seriousness of my son’s cumulative history. Michael is knowledgeable, experienced and conscientious. He personally worked each case from start to finish. Michael kept me updated on status and was always responsive. He coordinated effectively with various treatment facilities when it was necessary to provide the court with proof of treatment. I’m equally impressed with Michael’s caring personality and concern for my son’s issues, even beyond the legal ones. From the beginning he stressed to my son that the most important issue to address is the substance abuse – the legal problems are secondary and will only continue if the underlying addiction isn’t treated. Michael tried to make a difference, even when my son was not receptive to help. Michael’s assistant, Stephany, is also super – she is efficient, responsive and kind.

I highly recommend Michael King! Forever thankful!
